I'm thinking along the same lines as susan g.Like the blocks but, think they would look better broken up.

I think if you placed them in the same manner as the above link that Dunster referenced, they'll look super. Pretty colors.

I have a quilt made by this pattern that I purchased at an antique shop in Indiana. It is totally scrappy! And I really mean scrappy! It is on my bed, and I get lost in looking at all of the fabrics! I didn't know this was the name of the pattern. It is totally done by hand, and is very old, but is in good shape.

I agree about the sashing and your blocks are absolutely beautiful. I have the pattern for Carpenters Wheel but I haven't started mine yet.... Yours are outstanding, gorgeous....will be a beautiful quilt.

Are you planning to add sashing and borders? If so I would lay some of that fabric out too along where they would go. it will make a lot of difference in how it looks
